184: Running In Your 50s

Jim and Cheryl Brown (who housed Serena Marie, RD, and I when we ran the Chicago Marathon in 2015) run by to update us about what has changed since their December 2015 visit on Episode 108. They discuss the following:

Jim’s hip resurfacing surgery recovery

How starting running in your mid 40s and now running in your mid-to-late 50s is different

Why they were motivated to run another marathon after they thought they would never run another

Why running a marathon with Team in Training was by far their favorite experience (and they’ve run four marathons for charity)

Top fundraising tips (they raised over $5,000!)

Why Cheryl loves SPENGA, which is a franchised fitness class

Serena Marie, RD, answers a listener’s question about why agave nectar might not be the best choice. Serena also explains what cancer patients should keep in mind when it comes to sugar.
